The month of May is very important to all EDS zebras as it’s the awareness month for the connective tissue disorder Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and our Dazzle Walk is a way to raise even more public awareness. This is why members of the EDS UK Yorkshire & The Humber Facebook Support group and I are participating in the EDS UK Dazzle Walk 2023 to raise money for The Ehlers-Danlos Support UK to help the Charity and it’s volunteers to continue their work in helping so many individuals and families living with EDS each and every day. Myself and our group members know ony too well of the struggles, hurdles and difficulties all EDS zebras have living to the best of their abilities with this life long debilitating condition and how much of a struggle the pathway to a diagnosis is too and this has to change hence why the charity is organising petions to UK Governments and its members are going to dazzle together in our razzliest, dazzliest zebra outfits and we’ll probably be getting a few second glances walking around Pugneys Country Park too or if you’d like to do your own walk as well just sign up at http://dazzlewalk.ehlers-danlos.org/ and then join our fundraising team through this page.

Whatever you’re able to do be it a bake sale, an individual Dazzle Walk, prize raffles it’s appreciated to support a charity that means a lot to all those living with or caring for someone with EDS or HSD.

Being part of our amazing support group helps individuals in so many ways to feel less isolated, understood and to be believed and this is one of the reasons I became a Volunteer Area Coordinator for the Charity five years ago, wanting to make a difference to individuals on their journey with a diagnosis of EDS and beyond, my role means so very much to me and keeps me distracted from my constant pain and I do all I can each and every day to keep our support group positive and a safe place for my members.
